Correct, not in the private browsing mode.

For what it’s worth, Safari’s incognito mode works exactly how you described it — separate session for each incognito tab/window.

I liked Jonathan Blow’s ‘Preventing The Collapse of Civilisation’ talk on the same topic from 2019. [1] Although, it’s more related to software engineering. Previously discussed on a couple occasions. [2][3]

Try viewing it on Nitter [1]. It's one of those (no|min)-JS frontends, along with Teddit [2] (Reddit), and Bibliogram [3] (Instagram).
But still, does anyone know why video quality on Twitter is so bad?

Re:Security keys are now supported for SSH Git operations

From Apple's support page [1] (Secure Enclave section near the bottom):
> The chip in your device includes an advanced security architecture called the Secure Enclave, which was developed to protect your passcode and fingerprint data. Touch ID doesn't store any images of your fingerprint, and instead relies only on a mathematical representation. It isn't possible for someone to reverse engineer your actual fingerprint image from this stored data.
It's pretty easy to make use of Touch ID for `sudo` authentication, for instance [2].
Re:Teeing, a hidden gem in the Java API

This article made me realise that I don't know how to perform step-through debugging on chained of operations on Streams in Java, so I looked it up. I found out that there's Stream Trace Dialog in IntelliJ IDEA [0]. I guess it proves your point that working with Stream API requires additional tooling in cases when the code doesn't 'just work'.

True, but AFAIK, you can't keep your contacts (friends?) list when you delete the account and create a new one just on Messenger. An alternative is to deactivate the account [1] – this effectively removes your account from Facebook, but allows you to keep Messenger with all the contacts. (It probably also keeps other associated accounts, such as Instagram.) Although, it means that the moment you log into Facebook, your account comes back up, with all the relationships that were left off, tags, photos, etc.

Every article/report about online privacy reminds me of how many people I know ignore these facts, don’t know them, or brush them off as they ‘don’t find it harmful’/‘have nothing to hide’. Can anyone give me some suggestions/point to a resource on how to present these facts to the not-tech people I care most about in a way they will actually care?
